During the London Marathon, protesters from Youth Demand disrupted the men’s elite race, urging the UK government to impose a full trade embargo on Israel amid the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. They threw red powder paint on the course and wore ‘Stop Arming Israel’ t-shirts before being detained by police for causing public nuisance. The group criticized the British government for complicity in Israeli actions, highlighting the dire situation in Gaza, where over 52,000 people have died since October 2023.
